Which instance? We should maintain a list of these instances to ensure we don’t lose our data due to idiots like them.

They said competition, not alternatives. As things are right now, and knowing people, not just trying to make a technical point, Firefox is the only competition.

not a fan of that font, but cool setup

Hello, thanks for the feedback.

I am using this icon pack. I don’t know to share the panel, but I can assure you that I have only used external plugins that are listed here.

The external plugins are marked with “(external)” as footer text.

Thanks for the feedback. I will try that later.

Btw what’s that calculator app?

The backend is rofi-calc and the frontend is rofi.

Good old Geary.

I love it too. It’s pretty much Gruvbox.

“send a patch via mail” process.

I don’t see a problem with it. I don’t know what tools you use, but the current process certainly isn’t ancient. Even if I use GitHub or something else, I still highly depend on my e-mail to actually know somebody published a patch and if I am supposed to review it. I don’t have to use a GUI coupled with shitty UI decisions. E-mails are very simple in their own way and I don’t find it ancient or bad.

Yes, I like text more than visual icons. More proof is given by the fact that I used words like cpu, mem, net over the thousands of icons I could’ve used instead, considering that the font I am using is a Nerd Font patched one.

I use JetBrains Mono font. I am not sure what you meant by font rendering, so if you’re interested, you can check my dotfiles.

I experienced this too. That’s why I stopped asking them anything after my first query (why my keybindings were not working when defined in another file) and relied on guess work. I also found the community kind of dead, so you don’t actually get the answers quicker than the guess work will get you there.

I had to look through the source code of their widgets (like wibox.widget.textclock, awful.titlebar.widget.maximizedbutton) they use in their default config file to have a grasp of what’s happening. Looking through others’ dotfiles was more pain because it’s not supposed to be looked upon by the beginners, so they cram all they know in a few lines and leave you guessing.

You are correct.

Hello, I want you to know that Linux Mint has some issues:

• Their site was hacked twice and a malware-infected ISO was being distributed.
• They have a mixture of repositories where they get certain crucial things from Ubuntu’s repositories; this can cause trouble.

That being said, you may want to give Ubuntu officials a try instead.

I am not really into shells, so my experience is very novice when it comes to shell scripting, but I’ll let you know that I went from bash to zsh, and then I also tried fish but went back to zsh because I felt that it was superior. Generally I find zsh to be little easier than Bash, but bash isn’t bad in itself too. I disliked having to learn new syntax for basic shell scripting for fish the most I think.

The project is called rofi and I am not sure what you meant by “themes”.

I wonder what is its main selling point as a distro now though

I wanted to experience Arch and wanted something simple and quick (I was busy those days, so DIY Arch wasn’t a choice). I tried EndeavourOS, but it wasn’t simple, they make many configurations to the system which ruined the vanilla experience of all the WMs and DEs. I started looking for alternatives, I found Crystal to be attractive and well-maintained, so I went for it. I think it’s selling point is being simple and as friendly and vanilla as possible.

Google Chat is trash. It can’t beat Signal in terms of features and never will because Chat is by Google.
